A transformer rp discussion

[Revans Exile]

So basically the premise of this RP is the same as Transformers: Cybertron but limited to just Cybertron and Terratron as the homes of transforming robots.

[Drake Baku]

I cant remember if I evee watched that one so I cant say honestly

[Revans Exile]

You might know it by the Japanese name Transformers: Galaxy Force.

[Drake Baku]

both names sound familiar, but as before that is where it ends...

still would it even matter?

Im totally interested in this i was a part of a transformers ropleplay site for a few years and would loke to brinf my character over with some minor re writing to his story he could fit in great here.

[Drake Baku]

glad to hear it ^^

I was hoping to hear from Zero about the stuff discussed but he has not shown up yet
oh well, likely that tomorrow I will make the actual interest check and if people want an OOC as well already ^^

Yeah this should be really fun

[Drake Baku]

Today suddenly turned into a really busy one, I will still try to make those things today but in case I end up having no time, I will need to do it tomorrow.

[Drake Baku]

might as well ask here actually

I have the content of the new int check (and likely the main text for the OOC) typed out and ready
But I need a name for the RP.

I asked this to the other GM's as well but thought why not ask you people as well

I currently have the naming Idea:
Transformers: After the Fall

its a reverence to the game Fall of Cybertron (what is the most recent bit of background story)

I am open for any suggestions and opinions

[Keyblade87]

Could go with Transformers: Dawn of a New Era

[Zero Hex]

If you want my honest opinion I feel the planet of super awesome mechanoids that are all naturally triple changers (this is not a new concept, they're just meant to be unique, elite warriors like Springer, leader of the Wreckers) whose third mode amounts to a dinobot/terrorcon (also unique, elite groups, the dinobots moreso) seems to be done entirely so you can have your characters be different and stand out over regular cybertronians instead of, you know, playing a cybertronian in a Transformers game. It also detracts from the main conflict being about cybertronians and their planet when the GM's characters are all from some other planet, even if they're going to join the Autobots or Decepticons.

[Drake Baku]

I understand where you are coming from
however terratron will show up in the story as I made a plot story around it
And the fact that my main char will become a prime of its own planet eventually

we do have 2 other GM's who will control optimus and megatron (once we have enough players to support both sides)
so the connection between gm and not using autobots or decepticons is not much of a problem with that in mind I hope?

*Nosey head poking* Haello~ Trying to read over your posts but I can not grasp where the setting will be. Could someone explain? Might be able to dig out some chars from an older Transformers RP I was in if it fits.. But I gotta see the circumstances >.>

[Zero Hex]

Honestly, I don't really see why Terratron is necessary beyond "I made my characters be from this planet so I could have them be special triple changer dinobots instead of regular cybertronians". They're your characters, you can do whatever you please, but I don't really want to play in a game where this planet and characters from it will feature heavily in the plot, and since I'm always iffy about people playing canon characters, especially important ones like Optimus and Megatron, I suppose I'm out.

I am working on a second int check for the same rp, this one was mostly a discussion to build up a good idea.
I only need to figure out a good name and I post it ^^

too bad but seeing most people that have shown interest up till now want to come with a a personal character, I guess you would have stepped out sooner or later anyway
But I did mention that Optimus and Megatron WILL show by the second and third GM's

for others curious about the Terratron stuff he said:
I did not make Terratron just for the heck of it, it is for a plot around it as that there are some key differences with them and the cybertron's tripple changers
Main thing is, most of the the cybertron's versions have their vehicle mode as primary (aside the autobot) but in terratron its the otherway around, for those familiar with beast wars, you can see terratroniums as Transmetal Maximals and Predacons, their main shape is their animal and they possess their veheicle shape as secondary, though the shape will be more a vehicle then the transmetal type vehicle, you can still see traits of their animal, as much as you can see the animal shape in robot mode, what is the same level as with beasts wars (My main for example has his dragon head on his chest)
also as a GM I would also need a kind of leader role, but with cybertron's core out of commission Optimus is the last one that could gain the matrix from it, so a new race is needed in order to gain a leader status for good guys

and as side note about cybertron tripple changers being all Elite: cause terratron is more focused on their beast mode they lack in the elite matters, in general you can see terratroniums as strong and experienced as most normal autobots
for example, I have one that is a scout, she as robot will have a simple gun and as robot can use a sound type temporal EMP in order to run away, but that is it, ok as jet she has some simple jet type turrets under the wings but they hardly give a kick, she is a true scout, placing her offencive ability below bumblebee before he started warrior training.
almost forgot, they can become stuff like mythical animals as well (what cant be seen otherwise) and their rank/ position is kinda locked on their animal shape.
Strong animals are seen as warriors, fast or animals like bats that use sonic are seen as scouts, only researchers are not premade animal connection
the ones that can become a prime tend to be dragons (they are build as candidate but need to prove them self worthy)
only a general (Venoloid) or prime candidate (dracotron) can be seen on similar level as those elites now I think about it

[Drake Baku]

since the Autobots Aim is to save Cybertron, And Terratron is going to be a point of interest in this as well.
The name was simple enough to figure out in the end:
Transformers: To Save Cybertron

(also fits the games name options XD)

[Drake Baku]

the new and better interest check:

Interest Check

[Drake Baku]

please give me your people's opinions if I made it look good so it can attract multiple people?
This one was called Niche and I want Nice XD
